Scarpien: I am so freaking jealous of you being in a Jo and Thore sandwich. Solomom67, demonmutt, bsgnut: looks like you're having lots of fun

I was only able to attend the opening YouTube event yesterday since I had to go to work today, of which I just got back. But I can tell you I'm still on a total high from last night. It was absolutely fantastic. ;D First...arrived to be greeted by the lovely Shirley. I gave her a big hug. It was such a pleasure to meet her. Went down to join the crowd and OMG it was packed inside. I was directed to the GODT contingent area. And what a welcome. It was so great to finally meet thunderkat, zam, husky and liza. I was so warmly welcomed just like a friend with open arms. I met scarpien a little later on..he is so full of life and happy. I felt instantly comfortable amoung this crowd. What helped is that the fans on this site had put on a name tags so they could be identified. Jo and Thore hadn't arrived just yet...but you could feel the electricity and excitement bursting from the crown. Suddenly it was announce they were here. Then they entered and were greeted like rock stars. We cheered and screamed for them like there was no tomorrow. I actually think they were a little overwhelmed when they looked out over the cheering crowd. I think Jo or Thore even mentioned they were overwhelmed by all the attention given them. Anyway, soon to follow was Chris Evens, Gregory Micheal, Hal Sparks, Dennis, Igor and Felix. There were some of the writers, Nana and Paul who sub the vids were also there. At one point Shirley and Nanna were given a well earned thank you for their hard work and dedication. All the actors mingled with the fans and talked so casual and friendly for the entire event. I admit I was nervous about going up to ask Jo to take a picture, but really wanted to meet him and just thank him and Thore for such a great storyline. Jo was being swamped by fans. I eventually made me way through the crowd over to politely ask for a picture. He was so nice. He asked me my name and I told him Maxine but on the GODT site known as Brownsugar. As my camera clicked...curtesy of the enormously friendly thunderkat...I stood there with Jo's arm around me shoulder and felt like the happiest girl on the planet. And I will tell you this, as others who have met Jo before stated...he is the nicest person you could meet. So humble and appreciative to all the fans for their support. He will make you feel calm and at ease. Later on into the evening I finally could reach Thore who was also being swamped by fans. There was this back area where some of the actors retreated for some air. I waited politely with thunderkat and Scarpien...then stepped up and asked Thore for a picture. scarpien took the two lovely pictures for me. I would say that Thore is a little shyer than Jo, but it's understandable with the amount of adoring attention he was getting. And I think after a few drinks it helped him cope with all the madness. ;D Thore is also so very sweet and polite. I later saw a group from Japan or China, I'm not really sure, but they had Thore try on a kimono and he comically did a karate chop in it for them. Funny thing is...I can imagine Thore as this kind of a joker type person when he is in the presence of his friends and family. I did thank Jo and Thore for giving us such a beautiful story. Toward the end of the night I needed to ask Jo for one more thing...to sign his calender I had brought with me. I didn't want to be a pest...but knew it was now or never since I was only going to be at this one event. I managed to squeeze myself through the crowd with the help of thunderkat who got me a pen. And beautiful Jo...and trust me he is beautiful...seemed pleasantly surprised that I had brought his calender with me. He happily signed and wrote a little thank you note on it for me. Then I gave him a nice hug, and sweet Jesus my legs almost gave way. I couldn't believe I was being embraced by this wonderful man. Throughout the night clips from the German SOAPS and OLTL's kish was being shown. And you should of seen how the crowd tore the house down when the now famous 4/4/08 episode was shown, especially when we got the beautiful kissing between Olli and Christian. Infact...wheneever Olli and Christian kissed in the clips being shown the crowd went wild. I can honestly say this was one of the most unforgettable days of my life. To meet Jo and Thore was truly an honor and a dream come true. I haven't stopped smiling all day. I so badly wanted to be at the rest of the events. Hopefully if they do plan a return then I will certainly be in attendence.

(All pics courtesy of Twitter's @gaysinnyc2010...so a big thanks to them. And I wasn't sure how appropriate it was to embed the pics here...but I'm now okay to, as I've just been given permission to do so....but now embedding these particular pics is proving 'problematic', so I'll just have to hyperlink until I can sort the embedding out!! ) Scott, Gregory and Hal at the last Q&A panel of the day... twitpic.com/1bd2fyScott with Hal during the livestream show... twitpic.com/1bcle9Jo and Hal during the livestream show... twitpic.com/1bcbsuJo/Thore/Tom Chroust/Dennis/Igor/Felix/Hal (I think I've got that all correct!) took part in the first Q&A panel of the day... twitpic.com/1bb7bnA distant Jo and Thore on stage... twitpic.com/1b4hbfAnd thank you for the report, brownsugar. Really pleased for you that it all went off so fabulously.

Brownsugar what a lovely report! I'm so happy for you, apart from emotions of the event and meeting Jo and Thore I think getting to know people of this board just must feel wonderful, we are already like a little family and surely after this weekend all of us are feeling that even more.
Thank you everybody reporting from this awesome event, it's very important for us that cannot be there, you're wonderful! Please continue remembering us, and if it's possible remembering Jo and Thore too that there's another bunch of fans following everything through your reports that wanted to be there but couldn't.
Thank you guys, go ahead with the fun!!

Thank you guys, go ahead with the fun!! gelybi...i'm still buzzing. It truly was a fantastic event yesterday at MadamX. The place was rocking and jam packed to the brim. We were shoulder to shoulder, but what an uneblieveable atmosphere. You could see everyone looked so comfortable and enjoying themselves. It truly looked like Jo, Thore, Dennis, Igor, Felix, Tom Chroust and all these celebs was having a really great time. And like I said...we were all going wild for them. And they responded to the fans with such dignity, warmth and friendliness. So even though I could just make the one event, I'm just so happy right now. It still feels like a beautiful dream.

Yo Leute!! Or would that be Jo Leute... ;D Ok, Saturday March 27, 2010 is now for the history books and so I have goodies to share with you. I took over 700 photos of the panels, and the party afterwards, and what a party it was!! This was the party to shame all other parties, we had Jo, Thore, Felix, Dennis, Igor, Scott, and Andreas in the house, talking - signing autographs - taking pictures with us and when the dancing started on the dance floor Igor and Felix kicked off their shoes and danced with the rest of us - and did we go WILD!! This truly is the time to play "Sucks to be you" by Prozzak for all of you who couldn't be there, but no worries, I understand your plight and so onto the photos. Again, like last time, on the panels we had 4 or 5 people and so not everyone's going to be in focus, sometimes focus is nowhere to be found, sometimes focus is right where it needs to be! No gratuitous shots, but plenty of them from everyone on the panel and at the party (of course with my slight bias for all things Chrolli)!! So, enjoy!! Album 1: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2219&id=100000924065222&l=61810888bdAlbum 2: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2221&id=100000924065222&l=5cc37e5311Album 3: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2225&id=100000924065222&l=b74e28c3e0Album 4: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2228&id=100000924065222&l=77b95563a5

Thanks for posting all those pictures. Words cannot describe how jealous I am of all you guys in New York, but I am still having a lot of fun reading all about it and looking at pictures of Thore and Jo They both look so lovely and seem really nice when they are being interviewed. OMG Andreas was there too? Eye candy overload... I wish they would come back to London...

Oh my god everyone.... Looks like an AMAAAAZING weekend! I wish I had been there. I just had a thought, you said you had name tags with screennames on them... I think I would feel akward if Thore saw mine haha. But okay.. my first screen name here would have been akwarder... (does anyone remember it?)
Really looks like all of you and the actors are having a blast!!! Jo and Thore must be utterly overwhelmed too.

All--
Sorry for the lack of blog posts. It was so crazy yesterday. There were lots of pics taken so hopefully you guys will have a lot more to look at.
Scarpien and I talked to Jo about doing the next event in Cologne. He said maybe we could extras on the show! If that happens I am SO there. More to come later.
